Re: Ruger GP100 Match Champion...in 10MM!!!
The advantage I see of a 10mm over a 41 in a revolver the size of the GP100 or L frame is you get one more round. 41 mag conversions on a GP100 or L frame are only 5 shot. Ballistics for the 41 are noticeably greater for the 41 over the 10mm.

Re: Ruger GP100 Match Champion...in 10MM!!!
They make speed loaders for 41 Mag, not? If one was to consider carrying 10mm for personal defense (two-legged or four legged), the advantage is a powerful caliber and quantity. If one decides to carry a big revolver for PD, then why not choose the most potent cartridge available in a particular bullet diameter?

Re: Ruger GP100 Match Champion...in 10MM!!!
Recoil management? My dad has several guns in .41 mag. The full horse stuff is hits hard and recoils just as hard. It can be downloaded to mitigate the recoil, but then you're in 10mm territory or even lower. And 10mm will get the job done for anything in PA and most things in NA just as well as .41 magnum. Though I would go with .44 mag or .454 in a revolver if I was in grizzly or moose country.

Re: Ruger GP100 Match Champion...in 10MM!!!
I queried Ruger if the GP100 in 10mm would be able to shoot .40 S&W (a cartridge I really like, and it is cheap these days). They emailed me the below response:
Thank you for contacting Ruger Customer Service.
Your Customer Service Issue # is 10080035
The 10MM GP100 will function, and has been tested, with 40 S&W caliber ammunition, but may misfire (fail to fire) with some commercial ammunition. For this reason, Ruger does not recommend the use of 40 S&W ammunition in this revolver.
